But, he is likely done if he can’t hit at AAA, unless he wants to go the independent league route and hope. Hopefully, he saved at least some of the estimated $14+ million he earned and can live a happy life after baseball.

He always reminded me of another Georgia high schooler with a lot of tools, George Lombard. He played much longer than Lombard did, though, so at least he’s got that going for him. Which is nice.
